Notes About The Poem

H. M. Arkansas Writers' Conference, June 2007

He Is the Way, Truth, and Life

From his Father's bosom 
Jesus waited, and watched . . .

He who moves mountains 
		with his finger,
sends the wind whipping 
		with his breath,
and stills the waves 
		with a word.

Mortals denied God,
laid claim to his treasures,
dressed themselves in 
wanton, selfish desire.
God repented having created
humans, and sent his flood.

His un-measurable love
paved the way for redemption,
poured his own blood,
a cleansing river
to cover sin, and heal
the broken hearts of men.
